Humanities higher education. =20

Dr Paul Clark, the newly appointed chief executive of the Institute for
Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (ILT), will give the keynote
address. =20

Evaluate & Improve has been chosen as the conference theme because of the
ILT's emphasis on evidence-based good practice. We would like to invite
papers that address how we can evaluate our teaching practices, and improve
them in ways that help our students learn. In particular, we hope to
address the following issues:
*=09the evaluation of classroom teaching [staff / students on staff
performance]
*=09the evaluation of multimedia / online teaching to improve student
learning
*=09personal evaluation and guidance [e.g. peer evaluation and
mentoring] to improve student learning
*=09the evaluation of work-based learning to improve undergraduate
education
*=09providing evidence of improvement in teaching and learning.

Deadline for outline proposals: Friday July 16th.

The attendance fee will be =A335, with a concessionary rate of =A325 for me=
